What kind of biological network should I create?

create a biological network using NetSim, share your creation and you may earn quite a few extra points at the end of the semester. ( after creating the network need to save the code everything is in youtube tutorial also write 2 paragraphs explain what you did. I will attache an example. )

Perhaps, the first thing
you should do is check out this brief introduction to NetSim, an iPad app that the CSUN IT department and yours truly developed and launched last year. Then, watch this video tutorial https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NZ_vbQ-bi1s&feature=youtu.be . on how to use NetSim. By the way, accept my apology for the low quality of the video – this is a work in progress in several ways, and I have not had the time to edit a tutorial video that looks a little more professional. On the flip side, you’re the first humans on Planet Earth to use this app in a real-life scenario. (…Yes, you may tell your friends…)

I can imagine that you’ll have several questions. Let me preemptively answer some:

– What kind of biological network should I create?

It should be a molecular or genetic network. It can be genes and proteins interacting with one another, including protein-protein, protein-DNA, genetic and enzymatic interactions. Please refrain from mapping physiological or ecological networks. Any interactions among biological entities within a cell will work.

– Does it have to be real, or can I make one up?

It has to be based on some sort of evidence. Obviously, you will have to come up with (i.e. make some informed guesstimates about ) specific values for parameters for which no values may exist, or are easy to find. But I do expect the nodes (genes/proteins/molecules) and the interactions between them to be based on real evidence, and that the values that you choose for them are reasonable. In fact, you’ll have to share a reference to the sources that you used to put together your network, and some narrative to explain some of your decisions in compiling the network together.

– Does my network have to have a minimum number of nodes or interactions?

No. The more the merrier, of course. But the simplest of networks with only two nodes and a couple of carefully selected parameters (and one that shows some complex behavior) could earn you several points.

– Do I need an iPad to download / install NetSim?

Yes. The app was developed in the context of the iPad initiative, and it runs only on the iPad. It won’t work on other tablets, laptop/desktop computers or iPhones.

– Do I need to create and share my network all in one sitting?

No! NetSim allows you to save your work in progress. At the very end, you will generate a share code that you will submit as part of your submission. But that’s at the end, when you’re happy with your product. In the meantime, you can open and work on your network as many times as you want/need – the only thing that you need to remember is to save your updated networks (the iPad will save them locally, and you will be able to find them later by date/time).

– How many points will I get for submitting a network?

The maximum number of extra-credit points is 50. Yummy. But, how many points you really get of course depends on a series of grading criteria. Very generally speaking, the more of the items below that you check, the more points that your network will accrue:

-Narrative & References: You need to submit a paragraph or two describing the biology behind your network. Do not assume that I will know any network that you submit, no matter how “famous” or common its nodes and interactions may be. Do not assume that I will immediately understand the regulatory connections within your network based on parameters and configuration. A more complete and eloquent narrative allows me to figure out if you chose reasonable parameters and connections (and note I say “reasonable” not “right” or “correct”; once again, there may not be “right” or “correct” parameters for your network). In your narrative, you will also have to include any references backing up your network. If you cite the book, give me (a) page number(s). If you’re citing something from lecture, give me a lecture date. If your citing any internet source, give me something accurate that I can check (perhaps a valid URL?)

-Originality. I expect a fair share of networks depicting, for instance, the Trp or Lac operon (or any of the other real-life processes that we discussed in class). And that’s fine! But if you can come up with a network that you put together based on material outside of the book or lecture… that’s even better!

-Number of nodes and interactions: the more, the merrier (i.e. the more points).

-Number of feedback loops and autoregulatory connections: the more, the merrier (i.e. the more points).

-Complex behavior: Do the nodes in your network show any complex behavior (dancing up and down, or drastically changing behavior depending on slight changes to initial conditions or key parameters)…? Or does your network show some nodes quickly shooting up and staying up, while others decrease and never come back, regardless of what parameters you choose for your your network …? The closer to more complex behaviors, the better!

-Have you named all of your nodes? Have you?

-Parameter choices. Are your time delays, interaction strengths and signs, start values and detereoration and production constants properly justified (i.e. reasonable) based on the information in your sources?

– Can you give us an example?

You can find an example of a submission here. The text portion of your submission should briefly describe the reason behind your choices for network architecture and parameters. In the example that I provide, I included a graph from the source article on which the network is based – I suggest that you add a visual reference to your source if you can, which could make your job explaining the network a lot easier (a good picture is worth a thousand words). Notice, also, that a simple reference to the source is enough. And most importantly – make sure to include the share code generated by NetSim (and remember that you need to generate the share code only once; after that, all the changes you make will be saved to the same network).

National Institute of Health (NIH) or the Center for Disease Control

If it were within your power to have the National Institute of Health (NIH) or the Center for Disease Control (CDC) focus on one disease to eliminate from the planet, which disease would this be?

In your post you should address the following aspects:

Put the name of your choice in the subject title of your post so other students can easily see which diseases have already been nominated.

Points will be deducted for duplicate entries (unless the time stamps on both posts are very close together, suggesting they were being written at the same time).

Name and describe the disease and/or microbe (including its scientific name).

Explain the progression, symptoms, current treatment and/or prevention strategies used to combat the disease.

Identify if it is viral, prion, protist, or bacteria.

This means it has to be a communicable disease that you choose! No cancers, genetic disorders or diseases caused by abiotic factors allowed!)

Explain how it is transmitted.

Be sure to include important aspects of the microbe’s biology or transmission method that is unique and incorporate appropriate vocabulary introduced in the learning materials.

How many people globally or nationally are affected by this disease?

Are there certain parts of the world or individuals/races/population subsets where this disease is more prevalent?

Relate why you think this particular disease should receive disproportionate attention/focus/funding above all others.

Do you have personal experience with this disease, do you simply find it too terrible to allow its continued persistence, or…?

To receive full credit, you must:

Write in complete sentences that are thoughtful, well written, and free of typos.

Address all parts of the forum topic.

Use vocabulary presented in the learning materials appropriately.

Create a discussion and reply to another discussion by 8:00 pm on Saturday of week 6 (7 days after week 6 module becomes available).

Alzheimer’s disease is a progressive disease that destroys memory and interrupts normal mental functions. These include thinking, reasoning, and typical behavior. Alzheimer’s disease is the most common type of dementia 60 to 80 percent of dementia cases are in fact Alzheimer’s. The disease starts off by causing mild memory problems, difficulty recalling information, and slips in recollection. Over time, however, the disease progresses and you may not have memory of large periods of time. Risk factors for Alzheimer’s disease include being older than 65, a family history of the disease, inheriting genes for the disease from your parents, existing mild cognitive impairment, down syndrome, unhealthy lifestyle, being female, previous head trauma, and being shut off from a community or having poor engagement with other people for extended periods of time. There’s not currently a way to prevent Alzheimer’s disease. Researches aren’t clear why some people develop it and others don’t. Alzheimer’s often starts to show up in people around mid-60s. Alzheimer’s disease is currently ranked as the sixth leading cause of death in the United States, but recent estimates indicate that the disorder may rank third, just behind heart disease and cancer, as a cause of death for older people. Alzheimer’s may be able to spread through blood transfusion but most of the time it is passed down through genes. World wide over 50 million people are living with Alzheimer’s. I believe that alzheimer’s should be focused on because so many people suffer from it and not only does the person with alzheimer’s suffer but so does the family because the person loses their memory.

I think one disease the CDC should focus on eliminating from the planet is STD’s. One that I think would be very beneficial to get rid of would be HIV/AIDS. HIV is considered a prion. It is believed that HIV started and came from a chimpanzee species that was located in Central Africa. It is believed HIV was spread when it was in these chimpanzee’s, and then once they were hunted for their meat and people were eating them, so it was mixing into their blood stream once digested. It is currently estimated that 1.1 million people in the United states are living with HIV, and 15% do not even know they have it. Worldwide, about 36.7 million people have HIV. HIV/AIDS is spread through the contact of certain bodily fluids (such as semen, blood, etc). This means having unprotected sex with someone is the main way that this is spread. If one partner has it then the other is susceptible to get it. You cannot get it when both partners do not have it.

  HIV has three different stages. The first one is called the “acute HIV infection”. This time frame starts to occur 2-4 weeks after someone becomes infected. During this time, people experience what they think is the flu, but it is really just flu like symptoms. This can last up to a few weeks. The reason people initially have this reaction is because your body realizes it is a disease and is something they need to fight off. Most people who are in this stage are completely unaware of what is going on. The second stage is called Clinical Latency, which is when the HIV is either inactive or dormant. People typically do not have symptoms in this stage, but the HIV is still there and active. This stage can progress fast if left untreated, but if someone is aware and is on medication HIV can stay in this stage for over a decade. Even though HIV is dormant during this stage, it can still be transmitted since it is in the blood stream. The third stage is when HIV turns into AIDS, which is Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome. This is considered the stage where it becomes the most severe. It can damage immune systems which makes people more susceptible to illnesses since their immune system is down and unable to fight them off. People in this stage are considered very infectious to others.


 As of right now, there is no cure for HIV/AIDS. There are medications to help manage and control, but nothing to completely eliminate.  I believe this one should be eliminated above others because it is a disease that is located worldwide. Since it also makes the immune system more susceptible, it allows people to catch other diseases or develop cancer that potentially could have been avoided if they had not had HIV/AIDS in the first place. HIV is not as common in the US, but in 3rd world countries and other countries with a lower poverty level it is more common. I think HIV being eliminated would positively benefit the world as a whole and help these countries.
